About the Artist

Founded in the mid-90s Bay Area, Kapuwa is the rebrand of Malaya Designs by Ray Haguisan, an artisan specializing in pyrography — the art of hand-burning designs into wood and other materials. His handmade wearable art is inspired by Philippine Script and Philippine Tattoo traditions, merging ancestral aesthetics with contemporary expression.

Through his craft, Ray aspires to serve the Filipino American community by protecting, sustaining, and reviving indigenous arts that have fallen into disuse or extinction. Each piece carries both artistry and memory — a wearable connection to heritage.

What to Expect

• Shop handmade pyrography-based wearable art

• Learn about Baybayin and Philippine tattoo traditions

• Meet Ray and hear his story as a cultural artisan

• Celebrate Filipino heritage through artistry and community

🎟️ Free to attend — come sip, shop, and connect with culture at KKC.
